Whainga/Purpose

The purpose of the Rāwene Community Library Trust will be:

To provide a broad range of fiction, non-fiction books and historical reference materials for the people of Rāwene and surrounds.

To promote and develop the love of reading by providing affordable access to informational, educational, cultural and recreational library materials and services in a variety of formats and technologies.

To be responsive to the library needs of our culturally diverse and isolated community.

To liaise with the Public Libraries in the Northland region for the best advantage of our small community in order to widen and enhance the range of services available.

To respect the historic nature of our library and the many years of effort that have ensured its continued service to our community; and to liaise with the Far North District Council and other bodies to protect and maintain the building into the future.

To be a repository for such archival materials as the Trust deems relevant to the library’s collection.

To provide other support and assistance consistent with this charitable purpose.
